How far along were you when heard baby's heartbeat?

When I had my first midwife's appointment she said "at every visit we will listen to the heartbeat..." so I was excited... and then she followed it up with "except this one as the baby is too small, but don't worry you will hear it at the 12 week scan"

I did hear it at the 12 week scan and I think that was my favourite part of the scan :-)

14 weeks exactly at the GP and I aint the thinnest of people!

Don't worry...it's very tricky to pick up with a doppler at 11 weeks. It's like trying to pin down a fish in a fishbowl, the baby is basically swimming in there and they can still move around A LOT.

I think I heard my first one at about 15 weeks but I don't remember them trying to listen before that.

With my second I hired a doppler and I first heard him at 11 or 12 weeks - BUT it took me a good a twenty minutes, on and off, to find him the first time. No midwife or OB is going to mess around that long at 11 weeks . I had a couple of missed miscarriages so I was pretty paranoid at the time. You'll hear it at your next appointment, most likely.

We saw poppet's heartbeat on the screen at our first scan I was 6wks 3days, but we didn't hear it.

Saw and heard the heartbeat at our 12wk NT scan, that was only because we asked to hear it.

The doctor has also used the doppler when I was about 16wks... I did take him a while to find it though which was nerve wracking.

Glad you heard the heatbeat today, its the most wonderful thing to hear/see.

I bet you are feeling very relieved.
